Biography

Manfred Pardeller was born on 2 December 1965 in Bolzano and has lived and worked in this small alpine town since time immemorial. He works as a computer scientist for Endo7.

He began his musical career at the age of 12 on the trumpet, but had to abandon this instrument because of lip problems. After a break of 4 years he joined the rock group Flying Cross as a drummer, with whom he played for several years through the country.

Parallel to this band, Pardeller began to form his own formations, and the desire to experiment drove him to form groups with different orientations. Rock, blues, funk, jazz, psychedelic, minimal music and cyber punk represented the creative spectrum, whereby he had also taken his first steps as a keyboarder in the meantime.

Pardeller is always very careful about his own compositions with enough room for improvisation. The foundation of his own company in 1987 forced him to reduce the numerous enterprises – in the meantime even theatre had been added – and to decide for one of the projects. The decision was much on Experience near to zero (e.n.t.z.), the Minimal music and cyber punk project. In 1989 e.n.t.z. produced his first record „mankind – madkind“. Numerous concerts and band changes and extensions followed.

As far as the musical direction is concerned, Pardeller is basically open for everything that somehow produces sounds. He feels like a musical nomad.
